Another thing I found problematic with Mozy is that its associated with the host computer. Prolbem I run into is that the data I need backed up/restored are all located on external HDD's..so, if switched computers, I'd have to wipe my entire Mozy backup & start afresh. Not very efficient considering these days most people who purchase online backup schemes use them to back up data on the external HDDs.

I run Mozy at home on my wife's computer. It had SERIOUS performance issues. I had to tweak it a bit and it's ok now (basically, I set the backup window to only be between certain times). For all I know, they've fixed the perf issues. However, I met with these guys at RSA a couple of weeks ago, I think it's worth taking a look: http://www.backblaze.com What I like about Backblaze is (at least this was their pitch) is that you can backup your entire drive, not just selected files. I wouldn't get Mozy again based on the perf issues I ran into. If not Backblaze, than I would look at Carbonite or Connected.

I just talked to one of their reps. They don't have agents for exchange and SQL. Not really a big deal since I can use NTBackup for exchange and maintenance jobs for SQL. The price makes it look nice. Going to do some testing.
